Unwanted Win 11 auto upgrade

[fink]

If your machine is eligible for Windows 11 - meaning it ticks all the boxes for hardware compatibility- Windows 11 24H2 will download in preparation for installation, with no way to stop it.

For right now, the only way to prevent this is to adjust Registry keys accordingly, and the simplest, fastest way to do so is with InControl.

Thanks, fink.

The latest version of Windows 11 has so many problems that, if you install it, chances are your computer will experience issues that could render it unusable for some purposes. It can also prevent future updates from installing, leaving you without an easy way to fix the problems.

I am by no means a computer expert, but I have been using Win11 for a month now and it's been good to me. I am using it on 3 old Dell computers and haven't had any issues.
